  • From Arbitration to Celebration – the Rise of the UK Videogame Magazine
    From Arbitration to Celebration – The Rise of the UK Videogame Magazine Robin Bootes Independent Researcher [email protected] Keywords UK gaming history, videogame magazines, review scores, commodity cultures EXTENDED ABSTRACT This research examines the evolution of the 1980s and 1990s videogame magazine from advocate to celebrant of the home-computer as games machine. This is achieved via an analysis of the escalating review scores meted out by various magazine brands, alongside a close textual reading of the editorial manifestos and review guides that accompanied launch issues. This approach enables a comparison of the manifest editorial content, what the magazines explicitly declare as their position, with the latent meanings coded into the rating scores. The mixed-methodology used for this study mainly comprises of content analysis and discourse analysis, alongside basic statistical ground work that establishes the rising ratings in the reviews; with ratings rising by over 10% on average between 1984 and 1992. Over 100 magazines from 1981 to 1993 were examined, with 3000 review scores being included in the analysis. The magazine sample consisted of Computer & Video Games, Sinclair User, Your Sinclair, CRASH, Amstrad Action, Computer Gamer, and ACE. This sample examines both those texts traditionally included and excluded from the gaming historical narrative. Through this research the function of these historical gaming magazines is outlined as three-fold: firstly ensure profits for its own controlling interests, secondly provide the gamer with ‘gaming capital’ (Consalvo, 2007), and thirdly support the products of the gaming industry by acting as ‘buyers guides’ (Newman, 2008). These three functions do not necessarily co- exist harmoniously, and this research examines how the gaming magazine as a cultural industry tried to balance its role as taste arbiter and industry advocate.
